FREE Home Energy Advice Workshops

We are offering free home energy advice via Energy Savers with Wellingborough Eco Group.

Energy Savers is all about saving energy and reducing the cost for people and planet. We are a community energy project that has been set up by Wellingborough Eco Group and the Centre for Sustainable Energy to help save energy and cut your bills. Supported by Glamis Hall and other community organisations, we offer free simple home energy advice in Northamptonshire via our website and at workshops with Wellingborough Climate Action Project.
